"The question Rabbi Jonathan Sacks asks is, quite simply: How? How, in the face of such adversity, has Judaism remained and flourished, making a mark on human history out of all proportion to its numbers?". "Written originally as a wedding gift to his son and daughter-in-law, A Letter in the Scroll is Rabbi Sacks's personal answer to that question, a testimony to the enduring strength of his religion. Tracing the revolutionary series of philosophical and theological ideas that Judaism created - from covenant to sabbath to formal education - and showing us how they remain compellingly relevant in our time, Sacks portrays Jewish identity as an honor as well as a duty.". "This is the story of one man's hope for the future - a future in which the next generation, his children and ours, will happily embrace the beauty of the world's oldest religion."--BOOK JACKET.
